I took REG a few weeks ago and I had 2 research questions. Just today I took AUD and also had 2 research questions. Is this the new norm now, having 2 research questions in an exam?

Yeah I agree that should be changed. For it to be fair, either all should get 1 research or all should get 2. But then again, you have idiots like me who don't really benefit from having a second research question anyways 🙁

I had 2 on REG as well as 2 on AUD.

You can argue its a little more tough because there is no real partial credit to a research question. You either get it or you don't.

FAR 02/21/13 - 95
REG 07/02/13 - 87
AUD 08/02/13 - 94
BEC 08/30/13 - 85
Ethics Exam - 90

I also had two research questions for FAR and felt that those were my easy sims. I didn't feel great about three of the other five sims that required more leg work thank looking up reference material for a research question. I felt very fortunate to have two research sims as I believe I nailed both and they were subsequently graded. It's really just the luck of the draw as everyone has a different experience with the sims.

I had two research questions in my Audit test. Maybe they are trying to make us search through the new clarity standards? I really hope one of my other sims was a pretest question because a couple of them were ridiculous.

I had two research questions on REG and AUD and one on FAR.

I had a shot at the ones on REG and AUD and absolutely no clue on FAR.

@auslaf you and me both. Hoping that neither one of my research questions is a pretest. My SIMs was long and convoluted. After reading it 20 times I can only try to guess the best answer I think its asking me to answer.

I took FAR on 7/2 and had two research questions. I took REG on 7/31 and only had one. If you have two, one is most likely pre-test. Of the two on FAR, one of them was do-able, the other was INSANE. I did not locate it. Still passed FAR.

B - 81 (8/31/13) first attempt!
A - 80 (2/3/14) first attempt!
R - 89 (7/31/13) first attempt!
F - 86 (7/2/13) first attempt!
